Our Team
LEONARD “LT” WEAVER (FOUNDER)
“I’ve Been There, I’ve Done That, And It’s Not Worth It.” I Want To Give The Joy That I Have Found In Sobriety Away To Others Who Suffer From Addiction Because I Know, Through Experience, The Pain That It Causes. Twice In My Life, I Hit Rock Bottom Due To Drugs And Alcohol. In The Early 2000’S I Was A Meth Addict, This Led Me To Become Locked Up For A Year In Jail, I Was Scared Clean. Not Knowing That I Was An Addict, I Started Drinking In My Early 30’S. This Led To A 5th A Night And Gallons On The Weekends, I Was A Blackout Drunk. I Checked Into A Detox Hospital And Went Through An Intense Outpatient Program. I Am Now Dedicated To Giving Back What Was Freely Given To Me. I Have Made It My Mission In Life To Support Those Who Have Been Affected By Drugs And Alcohol Through The Love And Support That They Deserve.
FELIZ WEAVER (CO-FOUNDER)
I Am The Wife, Daughter, Sister, Cousin, Niece, And Granddaughter Of Alcoholics And Drug Addicts. I Have Lost Grandparents, Uncles, And Cousins Because Of Addiction. I Am Passionate About Helping Family Members Struggling With Codependency And/Or Co-Addiction. During My Husband’s Active Addiction, I Had To Seek Counseling And Support To Help Me Battle Codependency. Through Counsel And Research, I Was Able To Set Healthy Boundaries And Protect My Family. We Have Four Beautiful Children Who Were Also Affected By Addiction. As A Family, We Want To Give People Hope. There Are Things That Family Or Friends Can Do Or Stop Doing To Help A Loved One Get Help. So Have Faith And Don’t Give Up. Faith Is The Assurance Of Things Hoped For, The Conviction Of Things Not Seen. Love Is Powerful!
